Cheap train tickets from London to Stafford

There’s a range of ticket prices depending on when you travel and whether you have a Railcard. If you want to pay as little as possible, read on.

Don’t forget to use your railcard if you have one. You can save up to ⅓ on off-peak travel for a whole year – and as much as 50% if you’re 16 or 17. Don’t buy a Railcard for a single journey, but if you travel regularly by train, it’ll almost certainly pay for itself.

If you book in advance, you can save money, as the further ahead you book, the cheaper your ticket. Tickets go on sale 12 weeks before the travel date, so set up a ticket alert and you won’t miss the cheapest possible prices.

Finally, book direct with Avanti West Coast on our website or app. There are no booking fees, and if you find the same ticket cheaper elsewhere, just let us know and we’ll refund the difference, no questions.
